Content
Edmontosaurus was a large, herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period, around 73 to 66 million years ago, and one of the last non-avian dinosaurs to roam North America. Belonging to the hadrosaurid or "duck-billed" group, it measured up to 12 meters in length and weighed several tons. Its broad, toothless beak and battery of hundreds of tightly packed cheek teeth allowed it to efficiently grind tough plant material. With strong hindlimbs and a muscular tail, Edmontosaurus could walk on both two and four legs and likely lived in herds, migrating across floodplains and coastal lowlands.
